Burning thighs blog

I won’t lie. I’m not up to par with my attitude yet. Rodney got the Biometrics process going. Let’s pray for the best now right?

Can we say oucher like OUCHER!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I’m used to soreness and aches as it’s a part of exercise. Especially when you are beginning or like me, whenever I switch up my routine. So not being a runner and a runner wanna be I went to bed feeling good but anticipating the SORE! I was expecting in the SHIN but that was not the case. I guess almost a year of weights helped strengthen those babies. Now as some of you know I messed up my groin muscles bad almost two years ago. So I baby that area a lot. This morning as the day stretched my groin and inner thigh was sore like a bi**h. I guess it’s working muscles that are under developed.

I’m glad I’m sore because even with all the classes that I do daily, I’m so used to them that I don’t always feel it. ARRRR I want to feel the burn. I thrive on the burn!
IF you are doing the push-ups, tell me where you are feeling the most soreness? I can tell you if you have good form or not with that.

Typically I feel the soreness in all of my upper body - chest, triceps, biceps, shoulders, chest and the back as well as the abs sometimes. If you are keeping good form - this goes for all the girl, wall, desk and regular push-ups. Also important as you continue doing these is to try and lower yourself as close to the ground as possible and use your muscles to come back up. This will take time so don’t rush it.

I just finished my weights session with planks incorporated into it. Upper body only. I feel tightness everywhere. No lower body till Sunday.

So excited about tomorrow. I can’t wait to learn a new Step routine then do my yoga in the morning. Have to be up at 6 am to eat for it. Then in the eveing it’s marathon training #2. 4 miles walk/run around the area.
